Scientific paper

We show that deciding whether a given set of circles can be packed into a rectangle, an equilateral triangle, or a unit square are NP-hard problems, settling the complexity of these natural packing problems. On the positive side, we show that any set of circles of total area 1 can be packed into a square of size 4/\sqrt{pi}=2.2567... These results are motivated by problems arising in the context of origami design.
